Burkina Faso's security forces have ended their operation against gunmen who opened fire Sunday on a restaurant in the country's capital, killing at least 18 people and wounding eight.

Two of the suspected jihadists were killed in the shootout with the forces. It was not immediately clear how many assailants were involved in the raid.

Some people were able to escape the restaurant when the attackers opened fire, but others were trapped inside the building.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the violence.

The landlocked country, one of the poorest in the world, shares a remote northern border with Mali, a country that has long battled Islamic extremists.

In January 2024, an attack on a luxury hotel and a nearby cafe in Ouagadougou killed 30 people. Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb claimed responsibility for the raid.

布基納法索安全部隊(duì)結(jié)束了對(duì)在首都一家餐廳開火的武裝分子的行動(dòng)。星期天的襲擊造成至少18人死亡，8人受傷。

在瓦加杜古的一家土耳其餐廳發(fā)動(dòng)襲擊的圣戰(zhàn)者嫌疑人中有兩人在與部隊(duì)的槍戰(zhàn)中喪生。目前還不清楚有多少襲擊者。

一些人在襲擊者開火時(shí)得以逃離餐廳，但其他人被困在建筑物內(nèi)。

目前還沒有人聲稱對(duì)暴力事件負(fù)責(zé)。

處于西非內(nèi)陸的布基納法索是世界上最窮困的國家之一。布基納法索在偏遠(yuǎn)的北部與馬里接壤，馬里與伊斯蘭極端分子戰(zhàn)斗了多年。

2024年1月，瓦加杜古的一家豪華酒店和附近的咖啡廳遭到襲擊，造成30人死亡。 伊斯蘭馬格里布的基地組織聲稱對(duì)襲擊負(fù)責(zé)。
